Explosive shock wave exposure leads to age-accelerated motor and sensory decline in C. elegans

This study shows that shock wave exposure in C. elegans causes age-accelerated motor and sensory decline, with structural neuronal damage and cytoskeletal issues.

Evaluation of near-infrared light therapy for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases: Limited penetration depth into the brain likely hinders efficacy

This study evaluates the effectiveness of near-infrared light therapy for neurodegenerative diseases by measuring light penetration through human skulls and its biological effects on neurons and C. elegans.

Dsg2 truncation causes a lethal barrier breakdown in mice

This study shows that a DSG2 mutation causing Dsg2 truncation leads to a lethal intestinal barrier defect and a skewed IL17 response in mice, similar to Crohn's disease.

Automatic navigation system for the mouse brain

NeuroInfo automatically registers experimental mouse brain sections with a 3D atlas to accurately identify brain regions, improving navigation and reducing observer error.
